Big Draw 2016

 
Quote
As part of the Campaign for Drawing OCA has registered to take part in the Big Draw again this year. The 2016 theme is The STEAM Powered Big Draw Festival.
Bringing together Science, Technology, Art, Engineering and Maths. STEAM recalls our Industrial past and the fusion of creative innovation, enterprise and the arts.
With this in mind look at the above quote and create a piece of work in response to it. It can be a drawing, illustration, painting, photograph, film, textile piece or even a piece of writing or music. It is entirely up to you.
The Big draw takes place over the month of October, get your submissions to us by the 31 of that month. We will create a digital display of all the work after the deadline date. Email coursesupport@oca.ac.uk with your entry.
